Beautifully restored map of Lowell, Massachusetts from 1876

This map of Lowell, Massachusetts was created in 1876 by H.H. Bailey and J.C. Hazen, prominent 19th century map makers. The map shows a bird’s eye view of Lowell from the North, looking south across the city, including street names and old landmarks.

Many of Lowell’s factories and mills were built by Irish immigrants who moved to the area to escape the Potato Famine of the 1840’s. The mills were staffed by Mill Girls, young single women from New England farm families.
